BERMUDA COMMERCIAL: Moody's Affirms LT Deposit Rating at Ba2
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's affirmed its ratings and standalone baseline credit
assessments on The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited and on
Bermuda Commercial Bank Limited (BCB). Moody's has also assigned
Counterparty Risk assessments to both banks.
Butterfield's ratings and assessments are listed below:
-- Long-term / short-term deposit ratings: A3 / Prime-2
-- Long-term issuer rating: A3
-- Subordinated debt rating: Baa1
-- Government-guaranteed preferred stock rating: A1(hyb)
-- BCA: baa3
-- Adjusted BCA: baa3
-- Long-term / short-term CR assessments: A2(cr) / Prime-1(cr)
The outlook for the long-term deposit and long-term issuer ratings
remains negative.
In addition, Butterfield's ratings and CR assessments benefit from
a very high assumption of government support and incorporate a
three-notch uplift based on Moody's A1 rating on the Government of
Bermuda (government bond rating).
BCB's ratings and assessments are listed below:
-- Long-term / short-term deposit ratings: Ba2 / Not Prime
-- Long-term issuer rating: Ba2
-- BCA: ba2
-- Adjusted BCA: ba2
-- Long-term / short-term CR assessments: Ba1(cr) / Not
Prime(cr)
The outlook for the long-term deposit and long-term issuer ratings
remains stable.
Unlike Butterfield, BCB's ratings and CR assessments do not
benefit from Moody's government support assumptions.
Ratings Rationale for Butterfield:
The affirmation of Butterfield's ratings reflects Moody's
expectation that Butterfield's liquidity will remain strong and
that its asset quality will improve, along with Bermuda's economy.
The negative outlook reflects the significant decline in
Butterfield's capital after its buyout of Canadian Imperial Bank
of Commerce's equity stake, which will diminish Butterfield's loss
absorption capacity over the short-term if earnings are lower than
Moody's expects. The negative outlook also reflects Carlyle Global
Financial Services Partners LP's ownership stake in the bank: The
private equity firm's shorter-term investment horizon increases
uncertainty about Butterfield's longer-term strategic direction,
including the bank's capital plan.
A return to a stable rating outlook for Butterfield is unlikely
until the bank can rebuild its capital ratios. Moody's considers
strong capital to be particularly important for Butterfield's
ratings because its assets are highly concentrated in Bermuda real
estate. As a result, signs of aggressive capital management,
including a rise in leverage or more risk-taking, could lead to a
downgrade. A downgrade is also possible if asset quality or
profitability weakens, most likely if Bermuda's economy stops
improving.
Ratings Rationale for BCB:
The affirmation of BCB's ratings reflects Moody's view that the
bank's limited wholesale franchise, its concentration in less-
liquid securities, its comparatively low core profitability and
the lack of a lender of last resort in Bermuda are mitigated by
the bank's strong capitalization.
An upgrade to BCB's ratings is unlikely, given the bank's limited
franchise and the risks associated with the securities portfolio;
a downgrade is possible if concerns about the bank's securities
portfolio arise, such as the potential for unexpected losses that
could materially reduce its capital base and undermine confidence
in the bank.
CR assessments are opinions of how counterparty obligations are
likely to be treated if a bank fails, and are distinct from debt
and deposit ratings in that they (1) consider only the risk of
default rather than the likelihood of default and the expected
financial loss suffered in the event of default and (2) apply to
counterparty obligations and contractual commitments rather than
debt or deposit instruments. The CR assessments are an opinion of
the counterparty risk related to a bank's covered bonds,
contractual performance obligations (servicing), derivatives
(e.g., swaps), letters of credit, guarantees and liquidity
facilities.
In most cases, the starting point for the CR assessment -- which
is an assessment of the ability to avoid defaulting on its
operating obligations -- is one notch above the bank's Adjusted
BCA, to which Moody's then adds the same notches of support uplift
as applied to deposit and senior unsecured debt ratings.
As a result, the CR assessments for both of these banks are one
notch higher than their deposit and issuer ratings, reflecting
Moody's view that Bermuda's authorities are likely to honor the
operating obligations to which the CR assessment refers, to
preserve the banks' critical functions and minimize the potential
for contagion.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Banks
published in March 2015.

BRAZIL: Deeper Contraction Sinks Lenders as Petrobras Advances
--------------------------------------------------------------
Denyse Godoy at Bloomberg News reports that Brazil's disappointing
jobs report added to speculation Latin America's largest economy
is heading to its deepest recession since 1990, sinking bank
stocks.
The unemployment rate, which had tumbled to record-lows during
President Dilma Rousseff's first term, rose more than analysts
forecast in April, according to Bloomberg News.
Separately, a gauge of gross domestic product showed a bigger-
than-estimated contraction, Bloomberg News relates. Companies
that depend on domestic demand such as busmaker Marcopolo SA
dropped, while Banco Bradesco SA paced losses among lenders.
"The outlook for Brazil's economy is very negative, so we should
expect companies that sell in the domestic market to show weak
results," Hersz Ferman, an economist at brokerage Elite Corretora,
told Bloomberg by phone from Rio de Janeiro.
With unemployment on the rise and above-target inflation eroding
wages, consumer and investor confidence in Brazil has plunged,
Bloomberg News relates.
In a bid to shore up public finances and avert a credit rating
downgrade to junk, Finance Minister Joaquim Levy is lobbying
lawmakers to pass austerity measures such as curtailing access to
jobless insurance, Bloomberg News says.
Thirty-four of the Ibovespa's 66 stocks retreated as the gauge
rose 0.4 percent to 55,112.05 at the close in Sao Paulo on May 21,
notes the report. The index erased an earlier decline of as much
as 0.7 percent as Petroleo Brasileiro SA jumped with oil,
Bloomberg News says.
Bull Market
Brazilian shares entered a bull market last month, after rallying
more than 20 percent from their January low, on prospects for
government spending cuts and after Petrobras reported long-delayed
earnings, Bloomberg News discloses. Since then, the Ibovespa has
fallen 3.3 percent on concern the economy would slow further amid
the fastest inflation in more than a decade, Bloomberg News
relays.
Marcopolo declined 2.3 percent to BRL2.98 on May 21.
The MSCI Brazil/Financials index dropped a fourth day on May 21,
Bloomberg News says.
The Finance Ministry is considering an end to the tax break given
to banks and companies as a way to boost government income, Valor
Economico newspaper reported without saying how it got the
information, Bloomberg News discloses.
Bloomberg News notes that on May 21:
-- Lender Itau Unibanco Holding SA sank 1.2 percent to
BRL36.06, the lowest in a month;
-- Bradesco lost 1.7 percent to BRL29.73; and
-- Petrobras climbed 4.3 percent to BRL13.45.
The oil producer will commit to selling fuel at market prices,
newspaper Folha de S.Paulo reported without saying how it got the
information, Bloomberg News says.
The company also rose as gains in crude improved the outlook for
its offshore investments, Bloomberg News notes.
Petrobras has said investments in oil and gas pre-salt production
are economically viable with the commodity above $45.
West Texas Intermediate for July delivery advanced for a second
day as U.S. oil stockpiles shrank, indicating the supply glut may
be easing, Bloomberg News notes.
Planemaker Embraer SA advanced after signing a firm order with
Azul Linhas Brasilieiras SA of about $3.2 billion to sell 50 jets,
Bloomberg News relays. The shares rose 2.8 percent to BRL24.42 on
May 21, the highest price since April 6.
Trading volume of equities in Sao Paulo was BRL7.17 billion on May
21, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with a
daily average of BRL7 billion, according to the exchange.
CENTRAIS ELETRICAS: Moody's Downgrades FC Issuer Rating to Ba1
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Services downgraded the foreign currency issuer
rating of Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras SA (Eletrobras) and the
rating on Eletrobras' USD 1,750 million senior unsecured bonds due
October 2021 one notch to Ba1 from Baa3 and placed those ratings
on review for downgrade.
Moody's downgraded Eletrobras' ratings because despite some
financial improvement in the recently announced first-quarter
results of 2015 Eletrobras continues to post credit metrics that
are too weak for the Baa3 rating category. Absent a major
reduction in its capital expenditure program or some sort of
capital injection Moody's forecasts continuous weak financial
performance as measured by funds from operations (FFO). In
addition, Eletrobras received a qualified opinion from its auditor
KMPG with its first-quarter results and failed to file its 20F
form as required by the United States Securities Exchange
Commission. It is Moody's understanding that Eletrobras has
complied with the SEC's policy by having contacted the SEC and
issued a press release disclosing the occurrence of the filing
delinquency and the reason for the delinquency which grants the
company a six-month period to cure the delinquency starting from
April 30, 2015.
Eletrobras' rationale for not filing the 20F form was that the
company needs to obtain further results from the investigation on
alleged bribes involving the former CEO of its subsidiary
Eletronuclear as communicated in the local media. Eletrobras has
stated that it will hire an independent entity to conclude an
investigation process and ensure transparency and independence as
required by Brazilian and US laws. KPMG reviewed Eletrobras' 2015
first quarter financial statements and issued a qualified opinion
stating that it cannot determine the impact, if any, from the
resolution of the expected investigation as it is in the early
stage of the process.
During the review period, Moody's will evaluate Eletrobras'
ability to further enhance operating margins, secure long-term
financing for most of its power projects and improve its liquidity
position. The company's liquidity position for 2015 is considered
relatively adequate as it will benefit from some extraordinary
cash flows. These consist mainly of BRL 3.7 billion in
indemnification rights and around BRL 3 billion related to the
reimbursement of costs associated with Itaipu Binacional
(Itaipu)'s exposure to the spot market in 2014, which Eletrobras
disbursed under its role as Itaipu's energy agent. Starting in
2016, Eletrobras will no longer be able to count on these cash
flow sources, which is likely to put additional pressure on the
company's liquidity and leverage. During the review period Moody's
will also evaluate the current B1 Baseline Credit Assessment.
In accordance with Moody's methodology for government related
issuers, or GRIs, the Ba1 issuer rating of Eletrobras reflects the
combination of the following inputs:
- Baseline credit assessment (BCA) b1
- High-level dependence (70%)
- High level of government support (71%-90%)
- The Baa2 rating of the Government of Brazil, which has a
negative outlook.
What could change the rating up
In light of this rating action, an upgrade of the company's
ratings are highly unlikely in the short-to-medium term.
What could change the rating down
Moody's would consider downgrading the ratings should projections
indicate that credit metrics will not materially improve over the
next 12 to 18 months or should Moody's perceive a pronounced
deterioration of Eletrobras' liquidity position. The downgrade of
Brazil's sovereign rating could also trigger a downgrade rating
action.
Eletrobras' electricity generation has installed capacity of 43
GW, which is equivalent to 34% of Brazil's total generation
installed capacity, including the 7 GW capacity of Itaipu.
Eletrobras' transmission lines above 230KV comprise 57,290 Km or
around 50% of the country's total high voltage transmission lines.
The distribution business, largely consisting of small
distribution companies in the North and Northeast portion of the
country that sold 16.3 GWh in 2014.
Eletrobras is also a financing vehicle with a portfolio of around
BRL29 billion in loans granted to a diverse range of Brazilian
electricity companies, including USD 5.0 billion in loans to
Itaipu. Eletrobras is also the Federal Government's vehicle for
managing the CDE (Energy Development Account), a specific fund of
the Brazilian electricity industry, and certain social programs
such as the "Light For All" aimed at extending electricity to the
most remote regions of the country.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Regulated
Electric and Gas Utilities published in December 2013. Other
methodologies used include the Government-Related Issuers
methodology published in October 2014.
PARANA: S&P Affirms Then Withdraws 'BB+' Global Scale ICR
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services affirmed its 'BB+' global scale
and 'brAA' Brazil national scale issuer credit ratings on the
state of Parana. S&P subsequently withdrew the ratings, due to
lack of ongoing financial information from, and contact with, the
issuer. At the time of the withdrawal, the outlook was negative.
RATIONALE
Prior to withdrawal, the ratings on the state of Parana reflected
the state's "very weak" liquidity, "weak" financial management and
economy (compared with international peers'), and "very weak" and
volatile budgetary performance due to the state's excessive
spending that has led to wide deficits after borrowings in 2014.
The state's "average" financial flexibility, reflected in high
own-source revenues and its low debt burden, compared with that of
other Brazilian states and international peers, partly offset
these weaknesses.
OUTLOOK
At the time of withdrawal, the negative outlook on Parana
reflected the potential for a downgrade in the next 12-18 months
if the state's deficits after capital accounts are consistently
greater than 10% of its total revenues, and the state fails to
establish a clear plan to stabilize its finances for the next two-
three years. S&P believes these deficits will continue to hamper
the state's already "very weak" liquidity.
In accordance with S&P's relevant policies and procedures, the
Rating Committee was composed of analysts that are qualified to
vote in the committee, with sufficient experience to convey the
appropriate level of knowledge and understanding of the
methodology applicable. At the onset of the committee, the chair
confirmed that the information provided to the Rating Committee by
the primary analyst had been distributed in a timely manner and
was sufficient for Committee members to make an informed decision.
After the primary analyst gave opening remarks and explained the
recommendation, the Committee discussed key rating factors and
critical issues in accordance with the relevant criteria.
Qualitative and quantitative risk factors were considered and
discussed, looking at track-record and forecasts.
The chair ensured every voting member was given the opportunity to
articulate his/her opinion. The chair or designee reviewed the
draft report to ensure consistency with the Committee decision.
The views and the decision of the rating committee are summarized
in the above rationale and outlook. The weighting of all rating
factors is described in the methodology used in this rating
action.

TUPY S.A.: S&P Affirms 'BB-' CCR; Outlook Remains Stable
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB-' global scale
corporate credit rating and 'brA' national scale corporate credit
and debt ratings on Tupy S.A. The outlook remains stable.
The ratings affirmation reflects S&P's expectation that Tupy will
report mid-single digit revenue growth, profitability in line with
its global peers, and solid cash flow generation that would allow
for gradual balance-sheet deleveraging. S&P also expects Tupy to
maintain its leading position in the cast iron engine blocks and
heads market in Americas and Europe, which should keep the
company's profit margins at current levels. Nevertheless, profit
volatility may persist as Tupy's product portfolio is somewhat
concentrated. The other risk is commodity-like nature of the
company's products because the original equipment manufacturers
own the patents, which results in stiff competition and low
bargaining power with customers.
S&P believes Tupy will increase the production of higher-
aggregated-value Compacted Graphite Iron blocks, focus on
operating efficiency improvements during the next few years
through higher capacity utilization at its Mexican plants, invest
in projects to reutilize raw material, and enhance automation on
its production lines. S&P expects these initiatives, coupled with
the weaker Brazilian real, to offset the dropping vehicle
production volumes in domestic auto industry and in the
international off-road segment. The real's depreciation for the
past six months bolstered Tupy's operating metrics because around
76% of its revenues are dollar denominated, while most of the
costs are denominated in reals.
S&P expects lower volumes in 2015, but the favorable foreign
exchange rate to mitigate the impact. S&P also expects a smaller
revenue growth compared to last year, gradual profitability
improvements, and cash inflows in the second half of 2015
following the Enterprise Resource Planning implementation, and
lower capital expenditures. S&P expects the company to generate
R$68 million in operating cash flow, but lower than S&P originally
expected, which should slow debt reduction. S&P's updated
estimates remain in line with its existing financial risk profile
assessment as "significant."

PACIFIC RUBIALES: Accepts Takeover Offer by Mexico's Alfa
---------------------------------------------------------
EFE News reports that Canadian oil company Pacific Rubiales Energy
Corp. said it has accepted the $5.30-per-share, all-cash takeover
offer of Mexican industrial conglomerate Alfa and U.S.-based
energy investment vehicle Harbour Energy.
Toronto-based Pacific Rubiales said in a statement that its board
of directors has unanimously approved the offer and recommends
that the company's shareholders vote in favor of the deal at a
special meeting in early July, according to EFE News.
The report notes that the transaction requires approval of at
least two-thirds of the votes validly cast by shareholders and a
simple majority of the votes validly cast by "minority"
shareholders, according to Pacific Rubiales.
Alfa already owns an 18.95 percent stake in Pacific Rubiales,
although its shares will be excluded from the voting, the Canadian
company said, the report relates.
The report discloses that a group of Venezuelan investors known as
the O'Hara Administration and their partners, who own around a
19.5 percent stake in Pacific Rubiales, have already announced
their opposition to the deal.
Pacific Rubiales said the purchase price represents a 39 percent
premium to the company's closing price on May 4 on the Toronto
Stock Exchange, the report notes.
The oil producer said it expects the transaction, which values
Pacific Rubiales at around $5 billion, will close in the third
quarter, the report relays.
Pacific Rubiales, which produces oil and natural gas in Colombia,
Peru, Guatemala, Brazil, Guyana, Belize and Papua New Guinea, has
debt of around $4.7 billion.
Alfa is a Mexican industrial conglomerate that owns the world's
largest independent producer of aluminum engine components for the
automotive industry, as well as one of the world's largest
producers of polyester.
Harbour Energy is a joint venture of private equity firm EIG
Global Energy Partners and Asian commodity-trading giant Noble
Group. EFE
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
May 8, 2015, Fitch Ratings sees Alfa, S.A.B. de C.V. (Alfa; IDR
'BBB-', Outlook Stable) and Harbour Energy Ltd.'s (Harbour Energy)
potential acquisition of Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. (Pacific
Rubiales; IDR 'BB', Outlook Negative) as a credit-neutral to
marginally positive event for Pacific Rubiales.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. entered into a series of private exchange
agreements with certain institutional investors providing for such
investors to exchange approximately US$626 million aggregate
principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2016
issued by CEMEX and held by such investors for (i) US$321 million
aggregate principal amount of new 3.72% Convertible Subordinated
Notes due 2020 to be issued by CEMEX and (ii) an estimated 42
million American Depositary Shares of CEMEX. These exchange
transactions do not include the payment by CEMEX of any cash.
Following the closing of these exchange transactions, US$352
million aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes will
remain outstanding. The Existing Notes are not callable (other
than for tax reasons) prior to maturity in March 2016.

those of CEMEX's existing Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2020
issued on March 13, 2015, including the maturity date, interest
rate, interest payment dates, initial conversion price and initial
conversion rate. The Exchange Notes will be convertible into ADSs
based on an initial conversion rate of 84.0044 ADSs per US$1,000
principal amount of Exchange Notes, which is equivalent to an
initial conversion price of approximately US$11.9041 per ADS. The
conversion rate and the conversion price will be subject to
adjustment in certain events, such as distributions of dividends
or stock splits, in accordance with the terms of the Exchange
Notes. The Exchange Notes are expected to bear CUSIP number
151290BT9 and ISIN US151290BT97.
The closing of each of these exchange transactions is subject to
customary closing conditions. The Exchange Notes are expected to
be issued on or around May 28, 2015 and the final settlement date
for the exchange transactions is expected to be on or around June
8, 2015.
The Exchange Notes and the ADSs are being issued under private
exchange agreements and such issuance is exempt from registration
pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.
CEMEX, which was founded in 1906 in the northern Mexican city of
Monterrey, has operations in more than 50 countries.

Through these initial disbursements, the Company will reactivate a

of Morelia, Puebla, La Paz and Le¢n, to be financed by Banco
Santander, and up to nineteen housing projects across the country
to be financed by Lagatus.
"This is an important step for the Company as we are reactivating
our operations even prior to emerging from Concurso Mercantil. The
disbursements demonstrate the confidence and trust of two
recognized financial institutions. We feel confident that this is
one of the first steps to achieve a successful financial
reorganization. At the same time, we continue working very closely
with our creditors on the emergence from Concurso Mercantil,"
commented Carlos Moctezuma, Homex's Chief Financial Officer.
Desarrolladora Homex, S.A.B. de C.V. is a vertically integrated
home-development company focused on affordable entry-level and
middle-income housing in Mexico.

* MEXICO: Growth Meets Forecasts on Domestic Spending Strength
--------------------------------------------------------------
Brendan Case and Eric Martin at Bloomberg News reports that
Mexico's economy expanded in line with analysts' forecasts in the
first quarter as domestic consumption rebounded.
Gross domestic product rose 2.5 percent from a year earlier, the
national statistics institute said, compared with the 2.4 percent
median forecast of 24 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
While Mexico grew 0.4 percent from the previous three-month
period, the gains came in January and February, according to
Bloomberg News.
Bloomberg News notes that the economy contracted in March,
according to the IGAE economic indicator, signaling weakness
heading into the second quarter.
Retail sales gains and consumer credit expansion helped fuel
"moderate growth" in the first quarter, Banco de Mexico Governor
Agustin Carstens said at a presentation, Bloomberg News notes.
GDP forecasts have been falling on a drop in oil prices and
output, and growth going forward will depend on the U.S., the
buyer of 80 percent of Mexico's exports, said Alonso Cervera, the
chief Latin America economist at Credit Suisse Group AG, Bloomberg
News relates.
"It's not a great number, but not it's bad relative to some of the
more dire views that some people in the market may have had,"
Rafael de la Fuente, chief Latin America economist at UBS AG, said
in a telephone interview with Bloomberg. "The services component
looked good, which suggests that consumption at the domestic level
is doing well. There are major drags to growth here, especially
the oil sector, which clearly is weighing on the economy," Mr.
dela Fuente added.
Mexico's central bank has left interest rates at a record low 3
percent since June to jump start an economy that has missed
analysts' growth forecasts in eight of the past 12 quarters,
Bloomberg News relays.
Estimates for first-quarter growth from the previous three-month
period ranged from a 0.5 percent expansion to a 0.1 percent
contraction forecast by Bank of America Corp., Standard Chartered
Plc and Societe Generale SA, Bloomberg News says.
The service economy grew 2.9 percent from a year earlier, matching
the fastest expansion since the middle of 2013, Bloomberg News
discloses. Mexico is likely to expand 2.8 percent this year,
according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That would
be the fastest rate since 2012.
Bloomberg News notes that the first-quarter expansion followed 2.6
percent growth in the fourth quarter. Rising remittances from
Mexicans abroad and an increase in consumer spending are
bolstering the economy, Mr. Carstens said, Bloomberg News notes.
Sales at retail stores open at least a year climbed at least 5
percent in each of the first three months of 2015 from their year-
ago level, according to the Antad trade group, which represents
chain stores including Organizacion Soriana SAB and Grupo Sanborns
SAB, Bloomberg News says.
Wal-Mart de Mexico SAB, the nation's largest retailer, has posted
the second-biggest gain on the benchmark IPC index of 35 Mexican
stocks this year after two straight years of declines.
Still, with some economic weakness from the drop in oil
production, the central bank cut its 2015 growth estimate to 2
percent to 3 percent on May 19, down from the previous forecast
for an expansion of 2.5 percent to 3.5 percent, Bloomberg News
relays.
Economists forecast the central bank to leave rates unchanged
until the third quarter, when they'll raise them for the first
time since 2008 along with the U.S., according to the median
forecast in a Bloomberg survey.
Mexico's central bank is concerned a smaller rate advantage versus
the U.S. could prompt investors to pull money out of Latin
America's second-largest economy, Bloomberg News discloses.
The first-quarter growth report is "good, but it could be better,"
Marco Oviedo, the chief Mexico economist at Barclays Plc, said in
an e-mailed response to questions, Bloomberg News notes. "The
economy is probably getting weaker. However, if exports improved
in April, this might be temporary," Mr. Oviedo added.

PUERTO RICO: Moody's Cuts GDB Notes to Ca; GO Bonds to Caa2
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the Government Development
Bank for Puerto Rico's notes to Ca from Caa1, the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico's general obligation and guaranteed bonds to Caa2 from
Caa1, and other affiliated credits by two notches in most cases.
In all, about $54.8 billion was affected by these actions, and a
list of rating changes is at the end of this report. Included in
the total debt affected are $15.2 billion of Sales Tax Financing
Corporation (or COFINA) bonds. COFINA's senior debt was downgraded
to Caa2 from B3, and its subordinate-lien obligations were lowered
to Caa3 from Caa1. The outlook for all affected securities remains
negative.
According to recent disclosures, cash resources at the GDB may be
fully depleted by the end of August in the absence of market
access or emergency actions to preserve cash. GDB faces a 53%
debt-service surge in the fiscal year starting July 1, and deposit
withdrawals by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (Caa3
negative) and the Puerto Rico Housing Administration in coming
weeks will accelerate GDB's liquidity erosion. Moody's believe
that the commonwealth will not be able to complete its planned
financing (which was to replenish cash at the GDB) before the end
of the fiscal year, and that Puerto Rico and the GDB will be
forced to pursue cash-conservation measures such as seeking to
defer principal repayment to holders of bonds that are not
protected by the strongest revenue pledges or constitutional
provisions, such as GDB notes and the government's subject-to-
appropriation debt. As a consequence, ratings on Puerto Rico's
unprotected securities have dropped to levels consistent with
substantial expected losses. The legally protected securities -
notably, the government's general obligation and Sales Tax
Financing Corp. (COFINA) bonds - are also affected by rising
default risk, given that they account for a significant majority
of the commonwealth's tax-supported debt burden. The higher
ratings assigned to the GO and COFINA credits incorporate their
legal protections and the government's incentive to avoid
litigation with bondholders.
The outlook for Puerto Rico and its related debt remains negative,
because of trends such as weakening liquidity and economic
deterioration, which Moody's believe may further heighten default
probabilities and further reduce bondholder recovery prospects in
coming months.
What could make the rating go up:
- Restoration of sufficient liquidity position to prevent
defaults
- Enactment of sustainable fiscal plan that moves toward
structural balance while meeting financial obligations
What could make the rating go down:
- For legally protected securities (primarily GO and COFINA),
indications of growing default risk
- Rising loss-given-default expectations on lower-rated
securities
Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, with a population
of 3.5 million (and an estimated population decline of 1.4% in
2014). The island has a high unemployment rate of 11.8%, high debt
and pension metrics, and a declining economy.
This action affects many of the commonwealth's securities,
including the GO debt, which is a full faith and credit obligation
of the commonwealth.
Ratings Affected:
Downgraded to Caa2:
-- COFINA Senior (from B3)
-- Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company (from B3)

***********
Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable. Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate. The Monday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.
Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual trades. Prices
for actual trades are probably different. Our objective is to
share information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR-LA constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy
or sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds some position in the
issuers' public debt and equity securities about which we report.
Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on the
latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication. At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.
Submissions about insolvency-related conferences are encouraged.
